A stronger dollar tends to pressure gold by making it more expensive for overseas buyers, adding to the incentive for short-term profit-taking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">US gold futures for <strong>February delivery<\/strong> fell <strong>2.7%<\/strong> to <strong>$5,176.40 per ounce<\/strong>, reflecting the broader shift in near-term sentiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Rate Expectations Still Support Longer-Term Demand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even as the dollar stabilised, the broader macro backdrop remains supportive for gold.

After failing to sustain above the <strong>5246.33<\/strong> high, a wave of aggressive selling broke below successive moving averages, culminating in a session low of <strong>5150.93<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This sharp drawdown appears to have exhausted selling momentum in the short term, triggering a solid rebound back above the <strong>MA5 (5225.81)<\/strong> and <strong>MA10 (5222.64)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/03\/image-33-1024x474.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40474\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the selloff, the recovery from the lows has been orderly, supported by steady volume (<strong>VOL: 42.00<\/strong>) and a return above the <strong>MA20 (5218.80)<\/strong> and <strong>MA30 (5207.67)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, upside remains capped below the earlier high, and the price is approaching a confluence of short-term resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If bulls manage to consolidate above <strong>5226<\/strong>, a retest of the <strong>5246<\/strong> zone is possible. Failure to hold this region may renew downward pressure, especially if the broader risk sentiment remains cautious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Short-Term Outlook<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gold\u2019s sharp pullback reflects how sensitive the market has become to shifts in Fed expectations after an exceptional rally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hawkish speculation and a firmer dollar have prompted traders to lock in gains, but the metal\u2019s broader monthly performance highlights persistent demand for safe-haven assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Near-term price action is likely to remain volatile as markets digest the Fed chair announcement and reassess dollar direction. While further downside cannot be ruled out after such a steep run, the structural drivers behind gold\u2019s surge have yet to fully fade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Learn more about trading <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/precious-metals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Precious Metals<\/a> on VT Markets <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/Insights\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gold slides after record highs as hawkish Fed speculation lifts the dollar, though the metal remains on track for a historic month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":64,"featured_media":19121,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[6,13],"class_list":["post-40473","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-analysis","tag-gold","tag-precious-metals"],"acf":{"acf_article_selection_author":""},"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO Pro 4.9.10 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Gold drops amid Fed speculation shifts.
